Sweden __ "The country that brought
you IKEA, Greta Garbo and Absolut Vodka can almost be forgiven for letting the
smorgasbord, the Volvo (driver) and all those zinc-creamed tennis fans out (but
not Roxette, no, never Roxette). Since the devaluation of the Swedish crown,
Sweden has become quite affordable; at any rate, the simple joys of fresh air,
landscape and culture are among the least extravagant and most rewarding of
pleasures available to visitors. Stockholm, the country's capital, is a
progressive city, though there are pockets which have a village feel (if you
don't focus too much on the sleek, ubiquitous IKEA chairs). Once you get out of
town, Sweden's starkly beautiful forests and giant lakes lend themselves
perfectly to outdoor activities from iceskating to moose-spotting." History,
